Some tin good FRANKSTON will have its own Good Friday Appeal fundraising event this year thanks to the efforts of the Savage family who are determined to give something back to the Royal Children’s Hospital who saved the life of their 9-year-old son when he was aged two. The Savages hope other families will rally round for a fun family day out on Friday 25 March to raise money for the Good Friday Appeal. See story page 6.

Education battlefront Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FUNDING for state education is set to become a political battlefield again ahead of this year’s federal election. The Labor state government fired the latest salvo in the fight last week by releasing state education department statistics showing Victorian public schools will lose out on $1.1 billion in 2018 and 2019 unless the federal Coalition gov-

ernment agrees to fund the final two years of the Gonski plan. The department’s analysis listed each individual state school’s funding shortfall if the Gonski funding, officially known as the Better Schools program, is not forthcoming. Dunkley electorate schools – in the Frankston, Mornington and Carrum areas – look likely to miss out on $18.3 million in funding according to the state department figures.

Federal Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy said Labor will honour the Gonski six-year school funding plan if elected. “I regularly visit our local schools and speak with our principals. They tell me that targeted, needs-based funding is making a real difference,� she said. “The Turnbull cuts to Gonski funding is a broken promise. It will affect every child in every school, and those who need it most will be hit the hardest.�

Former prime minister Tony Abbott, when in opposition, declared the Liberal Party was “on a unity ticket� with Labor over Gonski funding before the 2013 federal election and promised to pitch in federal funding for the first four years of the six-year program jointly funded by the federal government and the states. The Labor state government is trying to pressure the Turnbull government to declare its public schools funding inten-

tions before the federal election. “This is funding that pays for things like extra support teachers in the classroom and special reading programs for kids falling behind,� Labor Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said in a statement last week. “Malcolm Turnbull’s so-called Ideas Boom will go completely bust if he keeps cutting funds from our schools, our kids and our future.� Continued Page 8

Centre signs on against violence Port or airport PENINSULA Community Legal Centre commemorated International Women’s Day last Tuesday (8 March) by signing a statement of its intention to commit to creating a community that is safe and accessible for women and their children. Donned in white, purple and green, the centre’s staff took a break from their day to meet in the boardroom to witness the centre’s signing of The Peninsula Model’s ‘Creating Safety, Equality and Respect in our Community: a Catchment Wide Strategy to Prevent Violence against Women and their Children’. Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership prevention and community engagement coordinator John Baker said The Peninsula Model is part of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership. “This is a catchment-based partnership between a range of health and community service organisations, key stakeholders, consumers, carers and communities throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. The partnership is working on addressing gender equity and the prevention of violence against women and their children at the policy and practice level within organisations.� Its strategy includes the vision “for women and their children to live free from violence; feel safe and respected, valued and heard in their relationships, workplaces and within the community. We strive for every woman, man and child in the Frankston Mornington Peninsula catchment to have equal access to opportunities that enable them to reach their potential and participate fully in the social, economic and cultural aspects of their lives.�

plea to Premier

Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway said violence against women and girls remains prevalent. “Last year, more than a quarter of our clients reported family violence. We helped many women by providing free legal advice and assistance, including duty lawyer services at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court and Dandenong Family Law Courts. “We have recently welcomed interim additional funding for 2016-17 from the Victorian government, which is enhancing our ability to provide legal help to people dealing with family violence. Our centre also provides community legal education about

7 S

family violence and actively supports local family violence networks and partnerships.� Peninsula Community Legal Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that provides free advice on many legal issues, with ongoing assistance available for clients experiencing disadvantage. In addition to its family violence services and general legal services, the centre also operates specialist programs in family law, child support, tenant and consumer advocacy and rooming house outreach, which also frequently assist clients experiencing family violence. For more information about free legal services see pclc.org.au or call 9783 3600.

THE possibility of a commercial airport at Hastings is still up in the air and many peninsula residents who contacted The Times after last month’s article (‘Airport plan takes flight’, The Times 29/2/16) believe the plan will not fly but Frankston Council is serious about its suggestion for a south east airport in the Mornington Peninsula suburb. Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley has written to Premier Daniel Andrews asking the Labor state government to consult independent authority Infrastructure Victoria about the feasibility of an airport in Hastings. In the letter dated 1 March Mr Dooley says land between Hastings and Somerville, about 2000 hectares known as the ‘Long Island Precinct’, earmarked for a container site for the Port of Hastings could be rezoned as “the location for a south east airport�. Frankston Council still wants the Port of Hastings development to proceed despite Labor’s preference for a port at Bay West near Geelong. The state government was finally able to pass legislation approving the sale of a 50-year lease for the Port of Melbourne and plans to use the expected $6 billion to fund its promise to remove 50 level crossings across Victoria’s rail network including 11 on the Frankston line. Cr Dooley believes the Port of Hast-

ings option is not dead in the water and the Port of Melbourne legislation passed last week leaves the door open to an expansion of the Port of Hastings. “We hope that the Victorian government will receive independent advice from Infrastructure Victoria, on the best location for a second container port,� he said. “The ideal location for this second container port would be the Port of Hastings, which meets all of the needs for a major container port and would result in major employment creation across the south east region.� If the Port of Hastings expansion does not proceed Frankston Council says the government should look at an airport for the area. “It is timely for the Victorian government to explore all of the potential opportunities to transform the Port of Hastings into a significant transport hub to strengthen the economy of our growing region,� Cr Dooley said. “We will be meeting with representatives from the South East Melbourne Group of Councils later this month, to present a letter addressed to them, and discuss the opportunities that a regional airport will present for our entire region�. The South East Melbourne Group of Councils includes the shires of Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast and Cardinia and the cities of Frankston, Kingston, Greater Dandenong and Casey.

Gender on agenda A CALL for more women to be elected as councillors is a good idea but difficult to achieve in a democratic society according to Frankston Council. The Labor state government marked International Women’s Day last Tuesday (8 March) by demanding “greater gender diversity in local government” and noted just 34.9 per cent of councillors across Victoria are female and only 16.5 per cent of council chief executive officers are women equating to 13 CEOs across 79 councils. There are currently three female and six male councillors at Frankston Council and the next council election to elect councillors will be held in October this year. “It’s unacceptable that in 2016 women still only make up around a third of all councillors and that they still don’t reach the senior management levels within their organisations,” Ms Hutchins said. “Improving the representation of women at the senior level in both the public and private sectors is a key priority for the Labor government and one we work tirelessly to achieve.” Ms Hutchins has written to council CEOs across the state to ask for support to encourage more female candidates to stand at this year’s council elections. Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said council shares the government’s desire for equality in local government but notes councillors are democratically elected by ratepayers. “Council will be hosting a number of information sessions for community members who may be interested in running as candidates in the next council election, including one tailor-made for women. This is not new we have run these information sessions ahead of the last two public council elections,” he said. “It is important to note that the councillors chosen to represent our city are decided by the community through a democratic and transparent process.” The state government will direct $50,000 in funding to the Victorian Local Governance Association’s GoWomenLG 2016 project. The project aims to increase the number of female candidates in council elections across the state. Neil Walker

A new design for life in Young St Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A MUCH-NEEDED redesign of Young St as part of the $63 million Frankston train station precinct redevelopment will begin in May and plans for the rejuvenated streetscape were released by the state government last week. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke hailed the plans as a longterm change for the high-profile street rather than a short-term cosmetic stopgap. The plans, designed by architecture firm Hassell, claim “additional green space will make Young St a more comfortable place to be”. A new “civic space” at the train station’s entrance will make Frankston “more welcoming” to arrivals. Increased trees shade during

the day alongside space for outdoor dining will open up Young St as a destination for visitors. Improved night-time lighting “will improve perceptions of safety” according to the plans. “This is a significant moment in the Young St development to finally see imagery of the works beginning in May to rejuvenate Young St,” Mr Edbrooke said. Frankston Council said it had lobbied state governments for Young St to be redeveloped so visitors to the city see a positive first impression. “Young St is a very important gateway for Frankston City and we look forward to it being transformed into a hub for community members and visitors, to meet, shop and enjoy spending leisure time in,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.

GRAND OPENING

New start: Frankston’s Young St and the Frankston train station surrounds will begin to be rejuvenated in May as part of state government plans, top.

Danger zone alerts for ambos Tough gig: Paramedics must have police back up at 105 areas in Frankston, Mornington, Rye and Hastings due to previous incidents of violence at specific addresses and safety concerns.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au ALTHOUGH parts of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have been flagged as areas of risk for paramedics, none have been declared “no-go” zones. Described as being “like pieces in a pie” by Ambulance Victoria, the 105 areas in Frankston, Mornington, Rye and Hastings and surrounds are listed because of past incidents of violence, or ongoing safety concerns. Most flags relate to where paramedics have previously been attacked by patients with mental health issues, use drugs or own a firearm. Despite the dangers, paramedics will be dispatched to these addresses with police being asked for back up. One example given to The Times involves patients who are known to bite or kick. Without a police presence, the bottom line is: if paramedics feel in danger, they won’t go. A metropolitan newspaper last week reported that the list of paramedic danger zones had tripled in some suburbs in just five years, with paramedics routinely refusing to respond to calls for help without a police escort. The number of addresses regarded as unsafe or violent was said to have risen by almost 25 per cent across the state in the same time. The surge in trouble spots is reported to coincide with a rise in violence surrounding the increasing use of ice.

The documents released to the newspaper under freedom on information showed 54 paramedics were assaulted or confronted with violence in 42 days last October and November. Dandenong has 34 flagged locations, the most of any postcode in Victoria, followed by Frankston 29, Reservoir 27, Cranbourne and Greater Geelong, 22, West Footscray 21 and Heidelberg 18. Mornington has 14. Outside the city Greater Bendigo, Greater Ballarat and the Latrobe Valley each have 12. Other areas of the peninsula, such as Rosebud West and Hastings, and, to a lesser extent Seaford, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento, Bit-

tern, Baxter, and Crib Point, are also flagged after previous episodes of violence or safety issues. The flags might also relate to the presence of defibrillators, frequent callers, hints on accessing property, and patient medical information. Safety warnings could be as innocuous as alerting paramedics to a steep block, narrow driveway, or whether a nearby oil refinery might make the use of walkie-talkies dangerous. Ambulance Victoria acting general manager emergency operations Mick Stephenson said staff safety was paramount. “We do not tolerate any violence or

aggression towards our staff,” he said. “We are continually reviewing our systems to provide the safest possible work environment for paramedics. “No paramedic is expected to enter a scene where violence is likely or suspected.” Mr Stephenson said 9331 special patient information records were in the system in October. Of these, 816 related to aggressive situations, with 39 stating police “may be required”. A further 355 records related to safety, with 47 records stating police “may be required”. Ambulance Employees Association state secretary Steve McGhie said vio-

lence towards paramedics was caused by drug-affected people, including ice users, but he also blamed domestic violence and alcohol abuse. He said about one paramedic a day was being abused or assaulted. “Paramedics should certainly not put themselves at risk because there’s no benefit to anyone if they get smacked up or stabbed or shot at.” Mr McGhie called for a “no tolerance” education campaign and for more people with mental health or drug issues who assault emergency workers to be charged so the courts could judge the extent of mitigating circumstances.

THIS year’s Good Friday Appeal is coming to Frankston thanks to the efforts of the Savage family. Rebecca and Simon Savage, owners of Frankston’s Savage Attractions fancy dress and party hire business, will host an event to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital at church grounds at 135 Golf Links Rd, Frankston on Friday 25 March, 10am-4pm. It’s a cause close to the couple’s hearts. “Our now 9-year-old son was diagnosed at age 2 with an extremely rare kidney disease that very nearly killed him,” Mrs Savage said. “The incredible team at the Royal Children’s Hospital saved his life. To this day, we still have a daily battle

Car break-ins rise angers police Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON detectives are reeling in the wake of 53 night-time car breakins last week resulting in the loss of dozens of wallets, handbags and other valuables – all crimes, they say, that are easily prevented. Inside several cars were spare keys for the same cars or the owners’ homes, meaning the thieves were given ready access to even more booty. The robberies come on top of 43 car break-ins the previous week, which included the theft of 20 number plates. These will be used to shielding thieves as they perform drive-throughs on petrol stations, commit armed robberies and engage in assaults, with little chance of being identified. “There’s only so much we can do,” Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Fyffe said. “Only four of the 53 car breakins related to forced entry, so the others must have been unlocked. “It’s very frustrating when responsible guardianship goes out the window. “Wallets and handbags are being left in plain view when cars are parked outside overnight.” Detective Senior Constable Craig Goudie described the booming theftsfrom-cars figures as “a nightmare”. He said 80-90 per cent had been left unlocked, while a small number had had their windows smashed and were broken into when valuables were left in clear view. Handbags and wallets containing credit cards are especially sought after as thieves can swipe them – without being asked for PINs – for multiple purchases under $100. It is not unu-

Cars set alight A Carrum Downs man allegedly set fire to a car at Frankston station, 9.20am Wednesday. The flames quickly spread to three other cars causing substantial damage. They will all probably be written-off, police said. Detective Leading Senior Constable Richard Brown, of Frankston CIU, described the incident as a “random attack” in which the offender, 36, caught a bus to the station from Carrum Downs and wandered among cars parked in Fletcher Rd. He then threw petrol over one car and lit it. The man was charged with arson and causing criminal damage by fire. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court that day and was bailed to appear at the same court, 7 April.

sual for a stolen card to be used at four service stations overnight for petrol, cigarettes and drinks, before the owner reports the theft in the morning and puts a stop on it. While passenger sedans are favoured by thieves, so, too, are tradies’ utilities which are frequently scoured for tools. Even locked tool boxes are vulnerable, with several cut open by a hand-held grinder and their contests spirited away last week. Gangs of youths, in small groups, are being blamed for the thefts. After being dropped off at a central location, for example, in Langwarrin, they spread out as they wander up and down each side of the street, testing door handles –“dooring” – to see which cars are unlocked while scouting for valuables.

Youths spied on CCTV cameras were wearing hoodies and carrying rags to wipe their prints off doorhandles. Streets especially targeted in Langwarrin last week were North Gateway, Centre Rd, and Frankston-Cranbourne Rd. In Frankston, areas targeted were off Yuille and Clarendon streets and side streets near the cemetery. Most have easy access and egress with myriad courts running off each side. Many occurred on Friday 4 March, when residents reported hearing noises in their streets and in driveways. Detective Fyffe is appealing to residents to lock their cars and utes and to remove valuables and tools, especially overnight. “Too many residents are making it too easy for thieves,” he said.

Teenager robbed A TEENAGER, 19, walking along Belmont Court, Carrum Downs, 10pm, Saturday 27 February, was assaulted and robbed by a man who was a passenger in a black utility. Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, of Frankston CIU, said the man got out and demanded the victim’s phone and wallet. In the ensuing scuffle, the victim was knocked to the ground and his phone stolen. The offender is Caucasian, 185cm tall, wearing a blue hoodie, and of medium build. Anyone with information should call Detective O’Brien, 9784 5555.

Punched, threatened A FRANKSTON man was punched and threatened with a baseball bat before being robbed, 8.40pm, Sunday 28 February. Detective Senior Constable

Marty O’Brien, of Frankston CIU, said the 48 year old was walking along Derna Cr when a red Holden Commodore with four men on board drove by and stopped. Two of the occupants got out – one carrying the bat. The other grappled the victim to the ground, stole his wallet, removed the cash and threw the wallet back at him. The man carrying the bat then punched the victim to the head. The pair got back in the car and drove off. The victim suffered minor injuries. One of the offenders was 190cm, tanned skin, wearing a dark coloured hoodie with white writing, dark tracksuit pants and blue runners. The other was wearing a dark coloured hoodie, dark blue tracksuit pants and white runners.

Stony Point line fatality A 19-year-old Frankston man died after being hit by the Stony Point train at the Hillcrest Rd, Frankston, level crossing, 7pm, Tuesday. All emergency services attended the scene. Two buses were brought in to ferry the 20 or so passengers to their stations.

Another bike death POLICE attended another fatal motorcycle accident – this time in Somerville – Tuesday night. The bike and a Ford utility collided head-on on FrankstonFlinders Rd about 8.30pm. The male rider, who was yet to be formally identified, died at the scene. The male driver of the utility received minor injuries and was taken to the Frankston hospital. As of Wednesday, 20 motorcyclists had died on Victorian roads. In total, the road toll is 65 compared to 50 at the same time last year.

Marine safety approach agreed The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and the Boating Industry Association of Victoria (BIAV) have supported a review of the current structure of marine safety activities in Victoria to strengthen the organisation and sustainability of the volunteer marine rescue services. In a meeting with the Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett and Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, both the BIAV and the Volunteer Coast Guard raised the importance of having a coordinated approach with all marine rescue services and the development of an efficient interface between volunteer services and government agencies. “The meeting with Minister Garrett and Craig Lapsley, responsible for developing a new framework for marine safety in Victoria, provided an important opportunity for the Volunteer Coast Guard to put forward concerns in relation to future funding programs and the need for a coordinated framework,” Volunteer Coast Guard squadron board

advisor Richard Burgess said. “We have also raised the issue of the importance that any new framework needed to provide the opportunity for the volunteer marine rescue operation in Victoria to retain a strong community identity.” Mr Burgess said that as a result of the meeting with Mr Garrett and the almost immediate commencement of a consultation process, the Volunteer Coast Guard has ceased its campaign of restricted services. Steven Potts, CEO of the Boating Industry Association of Victoria said the Volunteer Coast Guard, with over 750 volunteers, along with other marine rescue groups and Victoria Police were a major and vital part of the boating and marine industry in Victoria. Mr Potts said the development of a new framework for the Marine Rescue Operations in Victoria was an important foundation for the marine industry in Victoria, which contributes $4.5 billion annually to the State economy with

safety on the water underpinning consumer confidence. “Apart from the emergency services provided, the volunteer marine rescue organisations play an important role in their local communities. “Currently 95 per cent of the 172,000 of Victorian recreation vessels are trailered, less than 8 metres in length with 68 per cent of registered boats being operated on Port Phillip and Western Port Bays. “The projected increase of the population in the central coast area of Victoria, including Port Phillip and Western Port, from 4.6 million to nearly 8 million by 2050, will see a doubling of boating activities. The BIAV see the framework now being developed by the Victorian government as part of ensuring we have a robust and sustainable marine rescue service for future generations.” Mr Potts said the BIAV looked forward to working with the state government and the Volunteer Coast Guard through the consultation process.

and TAFE facilities and courses, versus the need to also invest in our primary and secondary schools. Both are equally important.” Federal Liberal Education and Training Minister Simon Birmingham said the federal government provides funding to the states and territories to use their own funding models to distribute money to specific schools. “School funding will continue to increase from the current record levels with the federal government’s commitment to Victorian schools increasing by $993.7 million or 27 per cent from 201415 to 2018-19,” Mr Birmingham said. “It is disingenuous of Victoria to throw too many stones in the Gonski glasshouse when they themselves are yet to commit to the $806 million additional funding required under the final two years of their agreement with the former government and given they provide less funding per student to their schools than all other states and territories. “Will Victorian Labor commit to funding their schools from their own budget like Western Australia does or will they continue to deflect the scrutiny and attention?” Federal Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten promised to fully fund the final two years of the Gonski schools funding totalling $4.5 billion nationwide. Mr Birmingham has previously indicated the Turnbull government plans to negotiate a new funding deal with the states and wants to focus on “the highest quality outcomes”. “Unlike the Labor Party, we won’t be tricked into thinking that just spending more money automatically improves results,” he said in January.

Continued from Page 1 On a Facebook post last Thursday (10 March) Mr Edbrooke was even more scathing in his criticism of a Liberal “walk away from the final two years of Gonski”. Mr Edbrooke noted Liberal candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther says he hopes to encourage Dunkley youths to seek a tertiary education so there is “a brain gain instead of a brain drain” in the community. “How do we get kids into tertiary courses when you are gutting their schools?” Mr Edbrooke asked on his official Facebook page. “I won’t have you move to Frankston only months ago and pee on Frankston’s leg and tell us it’s raining when we are working so hard to ensure our kids get the best education we can provide.” Mr Crewther said Mr Edbrooke is entitled to his views but was surprised at the Facebook comments. “As a State Member who is supposed to be encouraging people to move to this area, I am surprised at these disparaging remarks towards me,” Mr Crewther said. “Like Paul, who was raised in the Latrobe Valley and moved here as an adult, I chose this area as my home in Frankston to raise my young family, as the region combines the best of the country where I spent much of my youth, the city where my wife Grace grew up and the coast, with fantastic schools, healthcare, arts and amenities, with a very welcoming community. Most locals who have made this area their home would agree. “Paul in his comments over Facebook seems to be confusing two issues, one being the need for investment in expanded local tertiary, higher education

Police put Skids off the road Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE believe three arrests on the Mornington Peninsula are integral to their success in putting the brakes on two groups of hoon drivers regularly hold street drag meetings in Melbourne’s south east. An 18-year-old Somerville man is among nine arrested in the past week by detectives targeting hoon behaviour in Melbourne’s south-east. Yesterday, Monday, police arrested and charged a Mornington man, 23, who they describe as “a ringleader� of the South-East Skids. He has been charged with six counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury, and other hoon and traffic-related offences. A 21 year old Mt Martha man was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, driving in a manner dangerous, failing to have proper control of a vehicle, driving in a manner so as to cause loss of traction and driving in manner to cause unnecessary noise and smoke. Police say they have now arrested 42 people and

seized 21 cars since Operation Regarder began in November. On Friday police executed search warrants and seized three cars with Inspector Michael Daly saying police had “effectively shut down the South East Skids and Northern Skids hoon groups�. Crowds of 300-400 people regularly view the events in factory zones, especially in Dandenong, Lynbrook, and Carrum Downs. A 21-year-old Greensborough man has been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury and possess explosives. Police will allege the Mt Martha man was driving a utility in a Dandenong hooning event last September which fish-tailed before hitting and injuring a 21-year-old woman spectator. The arrests come after two people were killed in January when the ute they were travelling in crashed at Keilor East. Police believe they had earlier been at an illegal street race. Inspector Daly, of Dandenong police, said the results showed the taskforce’s dedication to holding hoon drivers to account. “If these offenders want to treat their cars as weapons then we will, too. We will seize them

and keep them as exhibits as we do with any other weapon,� he said. “Let us be clear, our focus extends beyond the drivers themselves to the spectators.� Inspector Daly said spectator should not think they were innocent bystanders. “You’re encouraging dangerous and even deadly behaviour. We are investigating your involvement and will prosecute you,� he said. “The arrests (Friday) are not the first and they will not be the last. “The taskforce is not slowing down. We are widening our remit and looking at other hoon groups. No one associated with hoons is exempt.� Inspector Daly said the arrests were a culmination of months of covert investigation. “We are now turning our attention to the Friday night drag scene in and around Melbourne’s south east.� “Our message to these groups is – as long as you behave in a way that endangers peoples’ lives, you’ll continue to be under the scrutiny of police.� All those arrested have been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 11 May.

Fatal crash at McCrae

Man shot

EMERGENCY services rushed to the scene after a car crashed and burst into flames in McCrae, Tuesday afternoon. Police were told the car was travelling south along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway near Lonsdale St about 5.15pm. It left the road and crashed into a tree before bursting into flames. The male driver and sole occupant died at the scene. Anyone who saw the crash should contact Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

A man was taken to hospital with what were described as non-life-threatening injuries after being shot, 8pm, Thursday. The incident occurred in Rassay Ct, Frankston.

Charges over raid A 17-YEAR-OLD Dandenong teenager has been arrested and charged following a robbery at a 7-Eleven store in Amayla Cr, Carrum Downs, last month. The Dandenong teenager was allegedly one of three men involved in the robbery, which resulted in a large quantity of cigarettes and cash being stolen. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Children’s Court, 22 March. Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, of Frankston CIU, said it was vital a witness to the late night robbery, Sunday 14 February, contact police. The man was able to give information about the robbers and their vehicle to the store manager but left without leaving his contact details. He is asked to call 9784 5555.

Bike, stubby to go A MOTORCYCLIST was taken to hospital after colliding with a police car in Baxter early Sunday morning last week. Police said the bike struck the rear passenger side of their unmarked car on Frankston-Flinders Rd, near the Peninsula Link overpass, about 1.45am. They said the rider, carrying a stubby, tried to flee the scene before collapsing off the bike a short distance away. The 45-year-old was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The two highway patrol police were not injured. It is expected the Baxter man will be interviewed in relation to riding an unregistered bike, and whether alcohol was a factor in the incident, Leading Senior Constable Julie-Anne Newman, of police media, said.

FEEDBACK Sooner, the better for sky rail on line Well it seems the major parties are in disagreement again, with the Libs calling for the elevated rail plans to be dumped, and the local Liberals favouring undergrounding the railway. The Labor state government, committed to fixing our traffic problems, believes that lifting the railway high over the many crossings would be cost effective. The cost of tunnelling from Mordialloc to Carrum in the bayside primary sand dune, and the cost of defending the tunnel from the high water table, concrete corrosion, and puddling from vibration is overlooked by the tunnel lobby. The travellers on the elevated railway will enjoy a great view, not locked into a spooky dark tube! Objectors: instead of frustrating the government on sky rail, how about getting them moving on the long awaited length of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway from Springvale Rd toward Moorabbin? Les Williams, OAM Edithvale

Labor lies? Re ‘Sky rail dissent rises’, The Times 29/2/16: Labor have lied, lied and lied some more. Labor don’t understand what keeping your word means. Labor can’t manage money. They don’t have to find it so who cares right? And why is Victoria back in this mess? Ask Geoff Shaw and the Liberals...what a circus. Victoria deserves better than all of this. Over the last six years Victoria has had extremely poor governance. I think it is time that our esteemed politicians were held personally accountable. Brendan Piner, via Facebook

Just get it done Over or under, who cares? As someone who took public transport to work for 10 years plus and had delay after delay, anything is better than nothing.

Moorabbin answer? It’s not a horrible idea if you had the population to support it. The catchment area will not support a passenger airport for a long time. Ask Virgin or Jetstar if they would fly a daily flight from the peninsula to another Australian or international city. The answer is no. There is no demand now and unlikely to be enough demand in 2050. Cargo? Why fly cargo to and from Hastings when established facilities cater to airlines from Avalon and Melbourne? Like passengers, there has to be enough daily demand to fill a cargo airplane. I could maybe see Moorabbin having enough of a catchment to draw on, but not Hastings. Toby Solak, via Facebook

Noise annoys Ever had a 747 coming in for landing fly over your house? If not go to Sydney and experience some of their suburbs in the flight paths of some of these jets...oh and if you want to see the value of your property plummet go right ahead then!

NEWS DESK All ashore: Passengers disembark at Tooraddin after a cruise in the north eastern arm of Western Port which went as far as Stockyard Point, populated by one fisherman and seaboirda waiting for the tide to drop.

No lack of conversation on Western Port cruise Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au DEMAND for berths has been so great that organisers have arranged another cruise. There’s no captain’s table or, indeed, individual berths, let alone showers, bars and swimming pools. But at $10 a head last Tuesday’s (8 March) trip around Western Port organised by the Western Port Catchment Committee is obviously seen as a bargain. The committee is an affiliate of the Western Port Biosphere Foundation. The trip provides a chance for experts – professional and amateur – to share their thoughts and knowledge with other like-minded souls who are interested in the ecology of the bay. Even using the word bay to describe the large body of water bounded by Mornington Peninsula to the west and the Bass Coast to the east can spark discussion and admonishment. It seems

the officially gazetted name is Western Port, without any “bay”. Another argument revolves around politicians constantly referring to Western Port being a natural deep water port. Not so, say their critics, it’s more like a large estuary with a deep channel formed by a long submerged river. “The boat’s a chance for community people and agency representatives to get together and network,” organiser Ian Stevenson said. “They can interact, talk and examine issues related to Western Port. “The boat also takes them to areas of Western Port to which they may have never been and which are hard to access.” During last week’s tour of the waterway’s north eastern arm Save Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said building a container port at Hastings would require dredging 24 million cubic metres of the seabed. “That’s enough to fill the MCG 15 times to the top of its grandstands,” Mr

Nottle said. Taking out that much material would increase tidal flows along the already eroded Bass Coast. Mr Nottle also criticised the secrecy surrounding information gained from $40 million spent by the now sidelined Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA). “They’re excluded from the Freedom of Information Act,” he said. Sandra Johnson, the PoHDA’s environment manager, said it was “business as usual” for the authority which has been stripped of money and staff since the election of the state Labor government. She said the only remaining monitoring equipment was a wind station at BlueScope. In answer to a question, Ms Johnson said the Port of Hastings was a “bulk port, but there’s nothing in the foreseeable future on brown coal”. Greg Hunt, of the South Eastern Councils Climate Change Alliance,

said studies completed five years ago had shown Western Port sea levels could rise 17 centimetres by 2030 and 80 centimetres by 2100 “but might now be out of date”. He said the effects of these rises were “something local government has to deal with in planning”. Western Port had been identified as a “hot spot” for the “interplay of coastal processes and storm surges”, already causing severe erosion at Lang Lang and Tooraddin. “Someone will have to pay [to protect property and infrastructure], nationally and state,” he said, adding that government agencies were already “ducking for cover”. Mr Stevenson spoke about failed attempts at replanting seagrass, with energies now being directed towards re-establishing mangroves in the north eastern section of Western Port. Farmers and government agencies were building rock walls to prevent erosion and invasion of their land by

the sea. He said earlier, ad hoc building of levee banks had included waste and car bodies, “which was intolerable”. French Island-based environmental consultant Chris Chandler said spoke about the island’s history, both before and after the introduction of koalas. He detailed the felling of forests for salt farms and to fuel chicory kilns and how a developer in 1963 planned a causeway across the narrowest strip of water between the island and the mainland. Rejected by the state government, the causeway would have connected Stockyard Point, near Jam Jeerrup to the 700-lot Paradise Point estate. As the boat neared these two points of interest, binoculars and cameras were able to focus on a lone fisherman on the mainland and a flock of pied oystercatchers on the island. No trace of a causeway, just a feeling that nothing is likely to happen there soon.

Day at the beach: The surfers try their best and, if they cop a soaking, clamber back on board during the Saturday 5 March event held by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers� Association. As well as relying on the power of the sea to provide waves, the day at Point Leo succeeded due to the power supplied by hundreds of volunteers, cheerfully helping about 120 people with disabilities find out how it feels to ride a wave. Part of the small army of volunteers kept a steady stream of barbecued sausages flowing onto the beach while photographers snapped every surfer and their support teams.

Inspiration found in power of the surf Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au HARNESSING energy is the key to a successful day of surfing at Point Leo: people power and wave power. Saturday 5 March was overcast all morning; there was a small swell and southerly winds. Not the best forecast for good surf or a day on the beach. But from just after dawn cars and vans began arriving at Point Leo. Trestle tables were set up, barbecues fired up and tents erected. A small fleet of wheelchairs was lined up just outside the lifesaving clubhouse. The wheelchairs are the clue to the day’s event, a day of surfing for a group of people who are denied easy access to this one of life’s pleasures. The Mornington Peninsula branch

of the Disabled Surfers’ Association is holding its second, and final, event for the year. With up to 300 volunteers needed to help about 140 disabled people have fun in the waves, it seems like a lot of effort. But the level of enjoyment is reflected in the faces of everyone involved. In keeping with its motto, the Disabled Surfers’ Association is putting “smiles on dials�. Gradually the car park fills. Hundreds of volunteers checking in to obtain wetsuits and coloured vests. Most wear blue, although there is red for team leaders and green for marshals. The necessity for colour coding becomes clear once the surfing begins. Before that happens, the “participants�, or surfers, also arrive. They come in cars, mini buses

bearing the names of organisations catering for the disabled and vans fitted with wheelchair ramps. It is not necessary to describe their disabilities, although it’s fair to say they are many and varied, physical and mental. When it's their turn for surf, some of these surfers walk to the water’s edge, others arrive in the wide-wheeled beach wheelchairs, some are carried. They wear bright yellow vests. Their faces all tell a story. There are smiles, looks of apprehension; some are unable to make facial expressions or even talk. The physical side of their surfing is just as diverse. Some lie on the surfboards (on their backs and fronts), some stand or kneel. Others are carefully placed in specially-built bean bag “chairs� that gently mould into

shape to support their bodies. There are wetsuits like large socks that cover two legs at once. Such a constriction would be a real problem for someone whose legs worked individually; for someone whose legs do not work at all, the neoprene sock provides warmth. No matter what the disability, these people are out to enjoy themselves. They come with carers and families (the ones in grey vests). Brothers and sisters take obvious delight in seeing their sibling lapping up the attention and enjoyment. Participating. The actual surfing is carefully managed. Two lines of volunteers (blue vests) create a safe channel to the shore. Most often a team leader (red vest) will lie at the back of the board, steadying and steering it as it is pushed shoreward.

And the surfer, who has adopted whatever position is possible on the flat board, is suddenly transported into a realm that’s not possible in a swimming pool. The raw energy of a wave created by wind thousands of miles away is being expended on a beach within Western Port. That wave’s final act carries to shore whatever dreams and feelings the surfer may have. They ride on a wave of natural energy, safe in the knowledge that helping hands are a few centimetres away should an upset occur. And sometimes those upsets, wipeouts, happen. But it is happiness that shows on the faces of the surfers who, for one small moment slip into the white water, a watery realm that only a surfer knows, and loves.

CHRIS Reynolds, owner, started undercover blinds in 2007 primarily as an installations company, and two years later saw a decent opportunity in specialized external applications. “When I was a contract installer we installed for a lot of companies around Melbourne and saw how we could do it better. At that point I decided to go out and give it a go, started working out of the shed at home. Within a couple of years we got a factory and then very quickly moved to an ever larger premises as there was a real need for a specialist outdoor blinds business in the area,” said Chris. “We focused on a key group of products relating just to external applications, so we don’t do internal blinds and curtains. Our core products are folding arm awnings and the next biggest would be alfresco blinds, where you put blinds around the outside area to create a room.” Undercover Blinds has a strong focus on quality,

and the company is built to a standard not to a price. “So there is a focus on quality, and the expertise in what we do on our external range I don’t know anyone who runs in the level of expertise we do. All our staff has been recruited for their specialized skills. Our two main reps have over 35 years’ experience and I have more than 25 years in the industry.” Undercover Blind offers made to measure blinds, manufactured on premises, everything from roller shutters to patio blinds and specializes in folding up awnings which can be motorized. Outdoor alfresco blinds create an outdoor room with sun, enhance outdoor areas while increasing property value, or add a stylish canopy to doorway for an ultra-modern touch.

HAVING been licensed builders for over 34 years, the team at Louvretec Melbourne specialise in quality space and lifestyle solutions, designing and installing thousands of home improvements throughout Victoria. Part of the unique brand and a testament to the three decades of hard work and research, Louvretec Melbourne are able to provide a service that is second to none, including opening roofs, sun louvres, shutters, external blinds and venetians. Recently Craig Stoll and Gail Long, the principal architects at Stoll-Long Architecture were fortunate enough to design their very own home utilizing their talent in both design and functionality, and utilising the LouvreTec systems. “Our new sustainable residence has been designed to exploit a sloping site with magnificent views. Orientated to the west the challenge was to design a home that is focussed on a view with extensive use of glass whilst controlling the hot afternoon sun,” said Craig and Gail. “The house incorporates the latest technology with a series of LouvreTec Melbourne’s louvres, external venetians and blinds which open and close according to the sun and wind to passively manage the interior comfort minimising the need for mechanical cooling and heating.” “The outdoor entertaining is complemented by both the Louvretec 200 Super Spanning Opening Roof with its flat contemporary profile which provided us not only with solar control but also closes to become a roof and the Mesh motorised blind situated to protect us from the wind while still maintaining our view of the

Yarra and Melbourne was a necessity for our comfort,” they said. “In the home the 200Maxi Louvres were designed as a feature as you walk in the front entrance and giving us control over the sun’s heat, while the external venetians give a look of class and again giving us maximum control of the sun. Overall this technology has enabled us to maintain our modern design while maximizing our sustainability.” Incorporating an extensive pallet of materials and finishes ranging from concrete, aluminium, zinc, alucobond, mild steel, bronze, stone, water and French Oak; Craig and Gail created a sensory house which responds to the site’s micro environment in a sophisticated, highly resolved form. This architect’s own home is a testament to the quality & versatility of the LouvreTec range of products giving both Architectural flair and sustainability in the one package. All products can be viewed and operated in full size at Louvretec Melbourne’s Carrum Downs showroom. 30 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs. Phone (03) 9770 4184. www.louvretecmelbourne.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farewell concert for our soldiers Compiled by Melissa Walsh A farewell and presentation concert takes place at the Recreation Hall, on Saturday evening, March 18th, to Driver Alf Clarke, Gunner H. G. Upton, and Lance Corporal F.Knox, all of whom are in active training. As all these lads are popular, a bumper house is expected. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their initial sale at Tanti yards on Monday next, commencing at 12.30 o’clock. *** WORD has been received by Mr Patterson, of Frankston, that his son George is at present suffering from illness, and is in the Heliopolis Hospital. *** THE Rev D. Gilchrist of St Andrew’s Church Carlton, will take the Presbyterian Service in the Mechanics’ on Sunday morning next. In the afternoon and evening the Rev gentlemen will conduct harvest thanksgiving services at Somerville. *** MORNINGTON Races. The above races were held on Tuesday last. The day was beautifully fine, and there was a good attendance. The following are the results: Novice Handicap, five furlongs. -F. Doran’s Lord Savin, 8.12, L; Eli Phillips’s Challenda, 8.0, 2; R.Ledgerwood’s Norris (late Result), 7.9, 3 Maximina, Valmenie, Dolly May, Cymbric, Paralla. Lady Selas,

Royal Queen, Gully Queen, Quittance, Trichinopoly, Soft Eyes, Royal Mettus and Bob L. also started. *** CAPTAIN G. W. Anderson, who has left Langwarrin for Headquarters, is the grandson of a late well known estate agent at Bacchus Marsh. The family flourished as merchants and butter factory proprietors in Bacchus Marsh and Trentham. His uncle, Mr Tom Anderson, was once considered as the only man likely to wrest the late Sam Staughton Esq from his seat as M.L.A., but Thomas Anderson Esq loved a merchant’s counting house, and a quiet country life better than fame as a politician. Capt.Anderson’s parents reside at Warragul. His father, Mr Geo Anderson, an estate agent, was formerly a merchant in that town. His intimate knowledge of the local Government Act and fine public spirit retained him in the local shire council for 20 years. A loyal Presbyterian, he proved one of the pillars of that church. Possessed of solid virtues the family got the best out of every member in local societies they entered,and retained the confidence of their subordinates for years after they ceased to serve them. Capt. G. W.Anderson was trained for the legal profession. His early training and legal knowledge should make him invaluable to the military authorities. *** MR Alan Broune, Y.M.C.A. repre-

sentative at the camp left for Egypt recently, and left so quietly it might be said “He folded his tent like an Arab, and silently stole away.” He was very highly respected by all who came in contact with him, and made himself very popular to those in poor circumstances. The very gamblers of a “two up” school trusted him with their money when they would not trust themselves, they left their money with him over night. On one occasion a gambler handed over to him £45 15s. They had confidence in him when they lost confidence in themselves. *** A station master has now relieved Mrs McNally of her duties as caretaker. It will be a great change for Mr and Mrs McNally who had a very onerous position here since the outbreak of war. Mr and Mrs McNally made themselves highly respected by their consideration of everybody who had business with the Department. The little debating society, over which Mr McNally frequently presided, has now ceased to exist, to the regret of the members. *** THE 16th half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association was held in the vestry of the Methodist Church on Monday evening, March 6th. Mr J. Archibald occupied the chair, and there was but a moderate attendance. The report for the half year was of a satisfactory nature and showed that good work had been ac-

complished by the efforts of the Association. *** THE gift concert, lately held here under auspices of the Ladies Schools War Relief Fund turned out very successfully and a large number of articles were despatched to the headquarters depot as a result. The following letter of acknowledgment has been received:—The Head Teacher, State School, Langwarrin North— Dear Madam,—I have been directed to ask you to convey to all concerned the thanks and appreciation of the executive committee of the above League, for the splendid parcel of goods forwarded to Montague Depot for the use of our soldiers. We are sure that the gifts will be much appreciated by them. Yours faithfully—E. A. Slade,Acting Secretary Education Department War Relief Fund. *** LETTERS From The Front. The following letter was received last week, from Private C. W. Clements: We are quartered now in the desert 10 miles away from everywhere, and the scenery never changes, excepting one night we went to bed, and in the morning, after a windy night, there was a great sand hill in front of our camp. The sick men are taken away from here on camels. There are two beds on each camel, like an oblong box. It hasn’t come to carting the wounded yet, as we have not met the Turks so far. We have an aeroplane over every

day, scouting, etc, but our officer tells us we are likely to see action soon. But there is a lot of tin fish on the way over, and having had one experience with a torpedo, I don’t want another. We get issued with one pint of water daily here and have to keep washed and shaved with that, our clothes we wash in the sand (I don’t think.) Some kind friend, I don’t know who, sends me a copy of the “Standard” nearly every mail, so it has been in some hills and hollows so far, and if it still follows, I hope it will go farther. Well for the present I’ll say au revoir, and best respects to theFrankston boys. *** THE death of Cr W. Rain, of the Dandenong Shire is announced. The deceased gentleman was in a few days holiday, for the benefit of his health, at the Gippsland Lakes. While at Cunninghams, he died suddenly, on Tuesday morning. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces. Recruits Wanted. Every man, physically fit is wanted. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot where arrangements will be made for medical examination. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 March, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The accidental pasta time capsule By Stuart McCullough SAVE the date. I want to give you plenty of advance warning so that you can formulate your plans accordingly. After all, it would be a tragedy if, for some reason, you weren’t available to mark what will inevitably be a very special occasion. Twenty years is a long time. Whether it’s a job or a marriage, two decades is something of an achievement. It’s also a fair margin by which to be out of date. If, for example, you were a piece of food whose ‘best before’ date was 1997, it would be nothing short of a miracle if, all this time later, you remain unopened. Miracles, I believe, ought to be commemorated. It sits on the shelf above the kitchen bench. Seemingly innocuous, you can only imagine what kind of dark treasures might lurk within. It has something of an esteemed position; one whereby it has been elevated from mere container to decorative eye candy. It is, in actual fact, a tin can with a painting printed on the side. I’d guess you’d say the idea is to create the impression of an antique. Inside is some type of pasta. However, because the container was given such an exalted status, it has never been opened and its contents never used. Around the rim of the lid there’s a strip of plastic on which there is printed the expiry date. ‘Best before 1997’ is declares. Given that the strip sits over the edge of the lid, it acts as an assurance that the object has never been tampered with. It remains just as it was all that time ago; it’s contents doubtless withering within. Twenty

years seems as good a time as any to finally unveil the mysteries of the ancient pasta tin. It is, I feel, time to open it up. It’s been part of my life for so long. I’d slide the back door shut and cast a glance in its direction as it stared proudly at the room. The longer things have gone on, the more

my morbid interest has festered. It’s hard to envisage what twenty years has done its innards; whether they’ve slowly disintegrated or have remained perversely intact. For all I know, there’s a new strain of penicillin brewing away, waiting to be unleashed on the world’s superbugs. It’s funny to recall what the world

was like back in 1997. Not only was the decorative tin sitting on the shelf above the kitchen bench at my father’s, Bill Clinton was in the White House. It was the year Diana, Jeff Buckley, Michael Hutchence and the Notorious B.I.G. all passed away. The year that Tony Blair was elected and Steve Jobs decided to go back to work at Apple. Some of these events seemed profound at the time. Others more so in retrospect. As for me, I was just starting out. I had a job and an apartment, but it was still a time during which everything felt tenuous. Brittle. As though, at any moment, things could change and be upturned and any progress towards a real life immediately squandered. Those were the days during which I felt that fate could intervene at any time and force me to go back to living with my parents. Which, if nothing else, would have reunited me with the decorative pasta tin. Those, at least for me, were in between years. A time during which I was still finding my bearings. University was somewhere in the rearview mirror but I was still to figure out what I wanted to do. In 1997 I was living in the kind of apartment that doubles as a walk-in wardrobe. You could almost touch both sides with your arms outstretched. The stairwell outside was a concrete echo chamber in which lubricated tenants would perform full-throated versions of the last song they’d heard at the pub before deciding to stagger back home. It was a long way from Tyabb. It was around then that my car, a

Daihatsu Charade, was eased into retirement and I became wholly dependant on public transport. I also did a lot of things I thought were good for me that weren’t. I slept on a futon that was horrifically uncomfortable in the belief that it helped my back, only to learn later that I was kidding myself. In those years, my television was perched on a milk crate and I made weekly trips to the local launderette. It’s tempting to glorify your youth. Things in retrospect are often blurred by the passage of time. I can remember the people I met back in 1997. Some of those folks have been friends ever since. And even if I felt as though I had no idea what I was doing, I must have been doing something if not right, then something close enough, to have met those people. Thinking of it now makes me want to ring all of them and invite them over. I’ll make dinner. Perhaps pasta. When the time comes and I rip the lid from the faux-antique decorative pasta tin, I’ve no idea what I’ll find. I think I’m just hoping it won’t be like that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when they unclip the padlock, pop the top off and the cast of Ghostbusters comes flying out. It’s unlikely. Rather, there’ll probably be not very much left at all. Time, I suspect, will have taken its toll. It’s no great loss. Perhaps it’s better just to accept that things change over time. After all, that’s what happens when something is pasta its used by date. www.stuartmccullough.com

A fresh new face at Toorak College By Melissa Walsh Toorak College Principal Kristy Kendall is the kind of leader every parent would want for their child, with a passionate belief that all children have the ability to be brilliant, and a unique understanding that mistakes are all part of life and learning. “I know that students particularly want to get things right all the time and what I want them to know is that mistakes are our friend and they are our opportunity to learn and grow,” said Mrs Kendall. “If you are making mistakes it is usually because you are challenging yourself and giving yourself an opportunity for growth.” A former Mt Eliza College student, Mrs Kendall grew up on the peninsula, and took an active interest in local theatre and community projects, later studying psychology at University. Always one to step outside the square, she explains her academic career as taking an unusual path. “I did a strange degree at university. Because of my background in drama, I combined drama with maths subjects but discovered psychology was where my heart was. It was a subject that I became very passionate about particularly the more I got into teaching and education leadership,” she said. Using her psychology background, Mrs Kendall has been able to make incredible changes in the education system, starting with her first appointment at Haileybury that spanned 15 years where she assumed responsibility for the development of Edrington in 2013. Under her management, the campus exceeded enrolment growth targets and delivered key improvements in the educational outcomes achieved

by students across the school. Prior to heading up the Berwick campus, she was Head of Senior Girls having led the establishment of Haileybury Girls College in 2007. With a strong understanding of the importance of single gender education in the middle and senior school levels, Mrs Kendall was also the Associate Dean of Social Education where she developed a whole school program that addressed the social,

emotional and academic development pathways for students, which she plans to carry over to the Toorak College role. “I completed my Masters of Education in 2013 and my thesis focused on the development of an adolescent’s abilities to understand another individual’s perspective,” said Mrs Kendall, who is determined to pass down the benefit of her wisdom to both the students and staff. “Students

are all different and we need to be able to be as adaptable as possible in a teaching situation. At every moment in a classroom you have to be reading the room and able to change direction at any given moment. I am very passionate about education and want to be able to impact the journey of our kids every step of the way.” Growing up being told you could do anything, Mrs Kendall wants Toorak to encourage their young

women that way. “It is very important for our girls to learn to be proud of their passion as we have a tendency to just want to fit in. I want our students to follow their own path and make mistakes by trying different things. I am a product of taking risks and challenging myself every day. That way we will raise strong, confident women.”

THIRSTY MERC By Billy Dixon

“I don’t know if anyone really thinks five years ahead in any tangible way… I’ve taken a long term approach to being a musician and my career with this band.” It’s a solid answer to a seemingly innocuous question asking what Rai Thistlethwayte has been doing with his life over the last half-decade or so. Far from laying low, hiding from the spotlight in some small outback town, Rai’s been immersing himself in the musical culture and cultural music of Los Angeles. “Like any lengthy project, you’ve gotta do a little reinvention, a bit of maintenance along the way, and sometimes that actually means stepping away from it all for a little while.” Away from Australia and Thirsty Merc, perhaps, though there have been rendezvous. But not away from music altogether. It’s this continued contact with the creative process, coupled with an old-fashioned travelling holiday, that’s filled the tank of their well-tuned musical hot rod. Thirsty Merc are back for a follow-up tour to last year’s album launch gigs. “The overseas travel was something I never got to do in my 20s… while my high school mates went overseas, I had my head down in a music project.” Living in Los Angeles between 2012 and 2014

for the bulk of the time, Rai never left the band, and the band never left him. “I did a few solo gigs and a bit of song writing, and I worked as a session musician as well… part of it was somehow tied to the music career, I got to step away and get a bit more perspective on things, which really helped me have a fresh head when I came back for the fourth full-length album.” Hey, we all need a holiday from time to time, and he gracefully acknowledges missing out on the globe-trotting Aussie cliché in his 20s. But is Shifting Gears a new chapter in the book, or another adventure entirely? “You know that old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” Clearly, a new chapter is the choice description. Explaining the reasons, it makes perfect sense. “There’s a lot of good things going on with this band. We’re great musicians, great friends, we have a great synergy sonically when we play live… and because I’m a bit older than before, maybe I’ve added a bit of maturity to some of the song writing. In other areas, possibly not, I might even have devolved… but your scope definitely opens up with more experience.” Despite calling the tour Back to the Grind, Rai insists they’ve “turned a corner into 2016… the gigs will be great, we’re still in the game,

we’re still playing live, it’s been the busiest 18 months of my life!” It’s definitely a positive for the band’s collective psyche, especially after the tragic loss of their stage manager Shane Cooper in a traffic accident while touring Victoria late last year. It nearly claimed drummer Mick Skelton, too, who was comatose for five days after the incident. Their Warrnambool show was rescheduled and the twisted irony of Thirsty Merc’s Good Life Tour fell on the band like a pallet of bricks. “…in a way, we bonded through it,” Rai says. Despite his brush with death just weeks ago, tour drummer Mick Skelton is back in the hot seat. “He’s made an incredible recovery and he’s actually going to be playing drums with us at The Grand! I hung out with him the other night, and he said ‘this is the tour I never got to do’.” Loss, or rather the shared pain that it carries, is a powerful force, one that’s only strengthened the bonds between the elements of Thirsty Merc. “He’s got the most inspiring attitude ever and I’ve been blown away by how well he’s doing. You’re never going to change what happened, but we’re thinking pas positively as possible and we’re moving forward.” The show at The Grand in Mornington will be

part of their second tour for Shifting Gears, this time under the second single The Grind. The album took some doing, so it’ll be interesting to see whether the intervening years and events have changed their stage dynamic. Rai insists not, highlighting their revamped creative process. “Entertainment and information being so global does have an influence, but another factor was doing the previous three albums with a record label – Warner Music. They’re a fantastic company, but we decided to go out on our own for the acoustic album… that was such a great experience that we took it further, doing this whole new album independently. That required a little creativity, the kind some well-established musicians forget is their stockin-trade. “We did a crowd funding campaign, all the organisation and financial backing for it ourselves and we put it all together. That can be daunting, even terrifying on certain levels because you’ve got to foot the bill for everything yourself, and you’ve got to be organised.” See it in the flesh at The Grand Hotel in Mornington on Friday, 22nd April.

LEFTFIELD IN MELBOURNE Frontier Touring have confirmed Australian club shows for iconic British electronic outfit Leftfield, playing Melbourne’s 170 Russell and Sydney’s Metro Theatre this month. These performances replace previously announced Melbourne and Sydney winery shows by an alternative promoter which have been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the artist’s control. Leftfield’s already announced Perth and New Zealand

shows will proceed as scheduled. “We had various options on what to do when we found out about the cancellation of the two events, but as far as I was concerned we just had to come to Australia. I didn’t want to let down any Leftfield fans. Now that we are going to be in the cities, we just want to pack these rooms out and come together with our fans whom we haven’t seen for 5 years.” – Neil Barnes

Since their emergence in 1991, Leftfield have been untouchable both live and on record, breaking electronic music from the underground alongside outfits like Orbital, Underworld and the Dust/Chemical Brothers. Their now infamous Liveism tour (1995) cemented Leftfield as one of the most talked about live acts in British Dance Music. The behemoth sound system, which aimed to replicate the cataclysmic bass effect

of reggae sound systems, resulted in a ban from Brixton Academy when plaster started flaking from the ceiling. Of Leftfield’s most recent UK tour, The Guardian said “In 2015, they haven’t so much moved forward so much as waited for everyone to catch up…say it loud, they’re back and absolutely deafening.” Don’t miss the wonder for yourself when Leftfield play Melbourne and Sydney later this month – tickets on sale this Thursday 11 February.

And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

1220553-PB11-16

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says.

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â€?

Old Boys – champion effort PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys were crowned the best team in the MPCA on Sunday at 4.50pm when they crushed Crib Point in the Provincial Grand Final. Chasing 204 for victory, Peninsula Old Boys achieved the target with 90 overs left in the game. With Dylan O’Malley scoring 101, the Old Boys’ skipper Matt Hyden whipped a boundary in the 45th over to hand his side victory. At just 2/207, Crib Point conceded victory immediately. Brandon Lawler, who was selected ahead of Adam Galitis as an additional batsmen, was not out on 25 while Hyden was unbeaten on 36. Peninsula Old Boys set up the win in the final two overs of the first day (Saturday) of the match. Crib Point’s Neil Clark, Jack Johnson and Henry Dolphin were all removed within nine balls of one another to turn the game on its head. For 74 overs, Crib Point was in control of the match. With two overs to go, the game had flipped with the Old Boys taking 3/0 off nine balls. The Old Boys went into the second day with their noses in front. The Pies dominated for much of the first day.

Other than a couple of early swings and misses against POB quick Adam Jones early, Henry Dolphin played a patient knock and got within 20 runs of a century before he was out. The Old Boys’ attack lacked their usual zip in the first session of play, which saw the Magpies reach 1/87 at the tea break. Rob Hearn made 19 and when he fell, the Pies were okay at 1/40 off 23 at that stage. Four dropped catches on the opening day made life frustrating for the POB bowlers with Dylan O’Malley grassing a chance off Jones in the final overs of the day. He injured his finger in the process. However, history will show that Dylan responded with a matchwinning knock, while his bowlers responded with three wickets in the final overs of the day. Crib Point may have finished the season on top of the ladder, however, the Old Boys were always the team to beat. The best sides always deserve to take the title and on most occasions the cream rises to top. In this instance, that’s exactly what happened. Once again, the Old Boys were crowned the Kings of the competition.

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will head into the third day of the MPCA District grand final with their noses well and truly in front after coach Chris Dew scored an unbeaten 159 against Flinders. After more than 140 overs in the opening two days, Pearcedale is in the box seat after bowling 40 overs to Flinders on the second day and having them 2/37 overnight. Not only did Dew score 159, when he gave only two small chances, he was almost the man to take Flinders’ first two wickets. Dew and Shane Maggs put Pearcedale into a wonderful position for victory after the opening day. The Panthers won the all-important grand final toss and went into bat. However, Matt Cousland was sent packing for a duck and Mitch Andrew followed three runs later and Flinders had the opposition on the ropes at 2/3. However, Brad Trotter (24) was joined at the crease by Dew and together they were able get the Panthers going again. With the score at 3/51, Maggs joined Dew at the crease. They were able to take the score to 4/146 before Maggs fell victim to Dwayne Field in the final over of the first day. Chris Dew remained at the crease, not out on 82. The Sharks used seven bowlers on the first day, Field having the biggest impact with 2/16, despite bowling just seven overs. Shane Beggs had 1/17 off

Mathers puts Rosebud in command SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ONE the MPCA’s greats, Jason Mathers, gave Rosebud a red hot shot at the title in the Sub District grand final. Mathers scored 73 in the Buds’ total of 215, while Jason Nagel and Brad Glen made contributions at the end. Opponent Frankston YCW was 6/66 at stumps on the second day with the Buds Billy Quigley snaring two wickets early to set the scene. The Buds are in total control and owned the first hour of play in the grand final. The Buds were looking solid with almost 20 runs without loss, however, they lost two quick wickets and quickly found themselves in trouble at 2/19. A short time later, they were 3/34 and then when Billy Quigley was bowled by the evergreen Craig Burch, the favorites were 4/46. Rosebud needed some grunt, fight and experience to give them a chance in the grand final – who better than ‘Heada’ Mathers. At stumps on the opening day, Mathers was a very patient 58 not out. He lost Peter Doughty for 40 when the score was on 125 but skipper Brad Glenn knuckled down and finished the day 12 not out. At stumps after 76 overs, the game was in the balance at that stage with Rosebud 5/148. Lea Leaunoa did some damage for the Stonecats early and got rid of Peter Doughty, finishing with day one figures of 2/33. Sam Fulton had 1/17 off 11 and Burch 1/27 off 19. Wind the clock forward 24 hours and the Buds are in command and are sure to go push through and with the flag and progress to District next season.
